Natalie raised her eyebrows and asked, “What happened?”

“A man has barged into the Design Department claiming he wants to see you. He’s very pushy and rude. Mr. Yeats is having a tough time holding him back, and he seems like he’s on his way up here!”

Natalie’s brow creased in concern. She quickly got to her feet and headed down. Elizabeth had caught wind of the disturbance and hurried down as

well,

As Natalie stepped out of the elevator, she was greeted with an arrogant voice. “What a small company you have here. How dare you stop me? 1 could buy this company in a blink and fire you all! Now, tell me where Natalie is this instant, or make her come here and face me! Is she too scared to face her actions? Is she hiding?”

It was Charles, and he hadn’t come alone. Surrounded by a group of bodyguards, he was causing chaos in the Design Department, catching the attention of everyone on the 12th floor.

Natalie knew exactly why Charles was there. Even though Charles was her brother, he was now confronting her, wanting to get even on behalf of Jeniffer. Natalie felt a pang of sorrow. Her family connections were anything but strong.

“Are you looking for me?” she called out, her voice icy.

Charles turned his face a picture of smugness. Took you long enough to come out.”

Natalie didn’t beat around the bush. “What do you want?”

With a mocking look, Charles answered, “You injured Jennifer’s hand. I’m here for revenge. Let me break both of your hands, and we’ll call it even.” “Ridiculous!” Elizabeth strode forward. “Where’s security? Get these people out now!”

The security team quickly made their way to the scene. But Charles’s muscular bodyguards were clearly experienced, causing the older security staff to pause, uncertain if they should step in

Charles sneered, his eyebrows lifted in a bold challenge. “Elizabeth, you should think twice. You don’t want to mess with me, he warned. His voice was firm as he moved closer. Be smart and stay out of this. It’s none of your business.

Elizabeth positioned herself firmly between Natalie and Charles. “Hold on. Charles Linney. This is not your territory. How dare you burst into my office and cause trouble! Do you think you can intimidate me?”

Charles balled his hands into tits and shouted, “Get out of my way!”

Elizabeth’s response was icy. “Not going to happen.”

The tension in the air was thick. But Natalie merely smiled, her face betraying no fear. She stepped past Elizabeth and approached Charles. “Here 1 am, Charles. Touch me and you’ll wish you hadn’t.” Her voice was steady, her words deliberate.

Churles paused, taken aback, then he threw his head back and laughed scornfully. “Are you kidding? Threaten me? You’ve got nothing, you nobody, Let’s see what you’ve got!”

With that, Charles’s face took on a menacing look. He clenched his fist, lifted it, and aimed for Natalie.

Suddenly, a stern voice rang out, “What’s going on here?”

Everyone turned, startled. A squad of police officers in dark blue uniforms marched in decisively. The officer leading them had short, spiky hair, tanned skin, and a faint scar alsave his nose. His features were strong and unsmiling, giving off an intimidating, yet oddly charismatic presence.

Murmurs spread through the room. “Freddy?” Even Churles seemed shocked.

The man was Freddy S

Stone, Jerome Stone’s son, and head of the National Police Bureau in Gobis

Freddy’s gaze locked with Charles’s. “Charles Linney!

Charles replied with a smile, “That’s right, Freddy, I’m your cousin Charles! I’m only here for a chat with Natalie. It’s nothing serious; you can leave

Everyone else became desperate again.

This dismissal only heightened everyone’s concem. They had hoped Freddy would be on their side, but it seemed he was siding with the troublemaker.

To their surprise, Freddy looked at Charles’s group with a smirk. “Arrest them all.”

“Yes, sir” The police officers following Freddy moved into action. Armed and authoritative, they didn’t encounter any resistance from the overwhelmed bodyguards.

“Let go! Freddy, what are you doing? Let go of me!” Charles struggled, but he too was apprehended and led away.

Even after Charles and his cohort vanished in the elevator, Freddy stayed. His expression, when he finally turned to Natalie, was unreadable.

After a moment, he approached her, extracted a notepad and a pen from his pocket near his heart, scribbled a series of digits, and handed the note to her. “Here’s my number,” he said. “Call me next time you’re in trouble.”

Natalie met his gaze, hesitating only briefly before taking the slip of paper. Then Freddy tumed and left without another word.

With his departure, the room seemed to exhale, and life returned to normal. Elizabeth ushered the staff back to their tasks before taking Natalie back to her office.

Once they were alone, Elizabeth couldn’t help but ask, “Nat, is that guy your family?”

“Kind of, Natalie responded.

“What does kind of mean?”

With a slight smile, Natalie explained, “He’s my cousin Freddy was Jerome Stone’s son, and Jerome was the brother of Natalie’s mother. The Stone family wasn’t one of the wealthiest families, but they were influential in Gobis, known for their longstanding wealth and history in government.

Elizabeth’s face brightened. “And he took Charles away just like that! What a stand–up guy. He’s so cool!”

Natalie teased her with a knowing look. “What, you’re into him?”

Elizabeth clammed up. She couldn’t shake the image of Freddy’s intense, stern gaze and rugged good looks. She imagined him strong and fir beneath his uniform. The thought left her flustered, filled with an urge to see more.

Suddenly, she snatched the note from Natalie’s hand, quickly saved the number, spun around, and darted out the door.

Natalie was left bewildered by her friend’s behavior.

Meanwhile, at the Yarslin Palace, Josh had wrapped up a morning briefing Walking towards the President’s Office, his aide Martin approached, reporting quietly, “Mr. President, it all went down just like you said it would.

A sharp glint crossed Josh’s eyes. When he replied, his voice was low and icy. “Let’s give him a light punishment.

“Understood,” Marun acknowledged.
